Pedicularis chumbica Prain, 



Specimen from Put-lo. 



The species is described from an examination of seven specimens 



It 



is 



closely 



allied by its calyx, its capsule, and its seeds to P. flexuosa and P. tenukaulis; from 

 both it differs by its dwarf habit and its glabrous filaments. From the former it also 

 differs by its entire apex of beak j from the latter by its serrate calyx teeth. It closely 

 repeats the habit and foliage of P. schizorrhyncha, which has, however, very different 



capsules and seeds, and has 



a short stout truncate beak laciniate at the apex
